I shoot with a Canon T2I and a Canon SH 60 HX. The point and shoot is used for birding because I can no longer carry the 400 zoom for a three-hour bird walk.
Mainly I shoot birds, orchids, flowers, architecture and sculptures.
I joined PSA to improve my skills in photography.

I consider myself an intermediate level photographer. If it moves or if it doesn't I shoot it. I especially like to photograph birds and wildlife as well as cityscapes and landscapes. I am currently using Nikon Z9 and D500 cameras. I have an assortment of lenses from 15mm fisheye to a 150 to 600 telephoto.
I am active in several local camera clubs as well as teaching a photography course at Northwestern Universities adult continuing education class.
I primarily use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing and play with Nik, DXO, Topaz and Luminar software.

Frans Gunterus
I live in Indonesia. Photography is my everlasting interest since my childhood. Before the pandemic, my wife and I visited many countries in tour groups. That was my chance to explore my interest in photography. Unlike most photographers that have time to set tripods, filters and wait for good lighting and good moment. I just don't have that kind of luxury when following non-photography tours. I sometimes have to shoot from the moving bus.
So, I always used bracket exposure. Most likely with auto ISO. I normally provide enough space around my subjects for further cropping to get more suitable composition. The rest, I have to refine my image during post processing. I enjoy my time for post processing. It almost like visiting the place for the second time. Imagining the color, the lighting and the beauty of scene I visited.
I enjoyed being a member of PSA. Learn some of many available courses, Digital Dialogue and keep up with photography updates and engage with other photographers from different countries.
Janet Pieper
I live on Long Island, New York.
I shoot with the Nikon Z50. I switched to the mirrorless recently mostly because it is lighter. I have also gotten some good shots with my iPhone, if I don't have my camera with me.
I like looking for unusual things in nature to photograph. I then enjoy playing with software to enhance, change and sometimes just create something really different.
I mostly use On1 Photo Raw software, along with Photoshop elements.
Minette Lukban
My name is Minette, and I live in Oregon. I started learning photography using a Canon camera during the pandemic. Prior to that, everything was just through my cellphone. My goal someday is to do photojournalism, but while living in Oregon, I am fascinated with the beauty of nature around me that I can't stop taking photos.
